The One That Got Away - Jessica Fox (2009)

The first book in the Hen Night Prophecies which follows the fortunes of five women - bride Zoe and her friends Fern, Libby, Charlotte and Priya - who are each given their own puzzling prophecy by a fortune teller at a hen's night. First up is set designer Fern, who is told that she has already met The One but let him go. So she starts to track down her three boyfriends, college sweetheart Luke who is now a movie heart-throb; vet Matt who is now engaged; and Seb, the love rat who wants her back. It doesn't take a fortune teller to work out which guy she's going to end up with but this may still whet your appetite for the rest of the series.

The sequel, Eastern Promise, which focuses on Priya's "In Love, mother knows best" prophecy, is out in November. Book 3, still untitled and out in May, is about Charlotte, who was told "Love will come through hope alone".
